Beta-lactam antibiotics are characterized by a beta-lactam ring in their molecular structure. The integrity of the beta-lactam ring is essential for the biological activity, which results in the inactivation of a set of transpeptidases that catalyze the final cross-linking reactions of peptidoglycan synthesis. Members of the beta-lactam antibiotics family include penicillins, cephalosporins, clavams (or oxapenams), cephamycins and carbapenems.
Beta-lactamases are bacterial defensive enzymes that hydrolyze beta-lactam antibiotics. Gram-negative bacteria produce beta-lactamases to achieve resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics. Particularly, beta-lactamases are able to efficiently catalyze the irreversible hydrolysis of the amide bond of the beta-lactam ring resulting in biologically inactive product(s).
Humans may be considered to be a “superorganism” which is a conglomerate of mammalian and microbial cells, with the latter estimated to outnumber the former by ten to one. This microbial component, and its microbial genetic repertoire, the microbiome, is roughly 100-times greater than that of the human host. Strikingly, despite this enormous diversity of foreign organisms, the human immune system generally maintains a state of synergy. This is particularly true of the distal GI tract, which houses up to 1000 distinct bacterial species and an estimated excess of 1×1014 microorganisms, and appears to be central in defining human host health status. Loss of the careful balance in the microbiome, especially in the GI tract, can lead to various diseases.
Antibiotic medical treatments, which are needed to treat certain aspects of disease, can induce disruption in the microbiome, including in the GI tract, and lead to further disease. For instance, certain parentally administered beta-lactams like ampicillin, ceftriaxone, cefoperazone, and piperacillin are, in part, eliminated via biliary excretion into the proximal part of the small intestine (duodenum). Residual unabsorbed beta-lactams in the intestinal tract may cause an undesirable effect on the ecological balance of normal intestinal microbiota resulting in, for example, Clostridium difficile infection (CDI), antibiotic-associated diarrhea, overgrowth of pathogenic bacteria such as vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE), extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing Gram-negative bacilli (ESBL), and fungi, and selection of antibiotic-resistance strains among both normal intestinal microbiota and potential pathogen bacteria.
One approach for avoiding or rebalancing the ecological balance of normal intestinal microbiota is the therapeutic use of beta-lactamases, for example, by inactivating excreted or unabsorbed antibiotics in the GI tract, thereby maintaining a normal intestinal microbiota and preventing its overgrowth with potentially pathogenic microorganisms.
Accordingly, there is remains a need for efficient methods of producing beta-lactamases at a commercial scale for use in therapeutic intervention.
The present invention provides an improved method for the production of a beta-lactamase polypeptide in Escherichia coli (E. coli) cells. The method includes providing a host E. coli cell transformed with a vector comprising a sequence encoding the beta-lactamase polypeptide. The E. coli cell is cultured to induce expression of the beta-lactamase in the cytoplasm. Soluble fractions are subsequently prepared from the E. coli cell to recover the beta-lactase polypeptide.
The methods of the invention allows for production of beta-lactamases at a high yield. In an embodiment, the method yields at least 10 grams of the beta-lactamase polypeptide per liter of culture. In another embodiment, the method yields at least 15 grams of the beta-lactamase polypeptide per liter of culture.
Various strains of E. coli cells may be employed for the instant invention. For example, the E. coli cell may be selected from BL21 (DE3) or W3110. The beta-lactamase polypeptide is predominantly expressed in the cytoplasm of the E. coli cell. In certain embodiments, expression of the polypeptide is induced by adding isopropylthiogalactoside (IPTG) to the culture.
The disclosed method may be utilized to produce beta-lactamases and derivatives thereof. In one embodiment, the beta-lactamase polypeptide comprises a sequence having at least 60% identity with P1A. In another embodiment, the beta-lactamase polypeptide comprises a sequence having at least 60% identity with P2A. In yet another embodiment, the beta-lactamase polypeptide comprises a sequence having at least 60% identity with P3A. In a further embodiment, the beta-lactamase polypeptide comprises a sequence having at least 60% identity with P4A. In various embodiments, the present methods are used to produce beta-lactamases useful for microbiome-protecting therapy.
The present invention is based, in part, on the surprising discovery that a beta-lactamase polypeptide can be overproduced in high yields in E. coli cells. Specifically, high yield production is achieved by expressing the polypeptide in the cytoplasm of E. coli cells and subsequently recovering the polypeptide from soluble fractions prepared from the cells.
Prior to the present invention, it was well established that beta-lactamases, such as the beta-lactamase from Bacillus licheniformis, are mostly found in the cell envelope and periplasmic fractions of E. coli cells. See Mezes, et al., J Biol Chem (1983), 258(18): 11211-11218. Particularly, beta-lactamase from Bacillus licheniformis is found to be completely absent in the cytoplasm. Id.
Further still, production of beta-lactamases from E. coli cells has generally been inefficient leading to an overall yield on the scale of milligrams of the enzyme per liter of culture. See, for example, Shaw et al., Protein Expr Purif. (1991), 2(2-3): 151-157. Given that the beta-lactamses are from Bacillus licheniformis, it is expected that production of these enzymes in Bacillus strains may provide a higher yield. However, studies shown herein demonstrate that even when produced in Bacillus subtilis cells, the yield of beta-lactamases is low. Accordingly, it is surprising that the present invention achieves an overall yield of beta-lactamases on the scale of grams per liter of culture.
Accordingly, the present invention provides an improved method for the production of a beta-lactamase polypeptide in Escherichia coli (E. coli) cells. The method includes providing a host E. coli cell transformed with a vector comprising a sequence encoding the beta-lactamase polypeptide. The E. coli cell is cultured to induce expression of the beta-lactamase in the cytoplasm. Soluble fractions are subsequently prepared from the E. coli cell for recovery of the beta-lactase polypeptide.
The present invention allows for high-yield production of a beta-lactamase polypeptide in E. coli cells. In various embodiments, methods of the present invention provides a yield of at least about 1 gram, about 2 grams, about 3 grams, about 4 grams, about 5 grams, about 6 grams, about 7 grams, about 8 grams, about 9 grams, about 10 grams, about 11 grams, about 12 grams, about 13 grams, about 14 grams, about 15 grams, about 16 grams, about 17 grams, about 18 grams, about 19 grams, about 20 grams, about 22 grams, about 24 grams, about 26 grams, about 28 grams, about 30 grams, about 35 grams, about 40 grams, about 45 grams, or about 50 grams of the beta-lactamase polypeptide per liter of culture. In one embodiment, at least about 10 grams of the beta-lactase polypeptide per liter of culture is recovered. In another embodiment, about at least 15 grams of the beta-lactase polypeptide per liter of culture is recovered. In a further embodiment, at least about 18 grams of the beta-lactase polypeptide per liter of culture is recovered.
In various embodiments, the present methods provide one or more of greater yield and improved purity as compared to a Bacillus-based expression system such as, for example, those described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,319,030, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. In various embodiments, the present methods provide one or more of greater yield and improved purity as compared to a method for producing a desired polypeptide product using a non-sporulating Bacillus subtilis strain, in which a deletion region of at least 150 nucleotides has been deleted from its sigG gene, the method involving transforming the strain with a polynucleotide construct encoding a recombinant polypeptide, expressing the polynucleotide construct, and recovering the recombinant polypeptide. In some embodiments the method comprises deleting at least part of either of the two functional regions of the sigG gene (i.e. the regions which code for amino acids 67 to 80 or 229 to 248).
In various embodiments, the present methods provide about a 5-fold, or about a 7.5-fold, or about a 10-fold, or about a 15-fold improvement in yield in E. coli versus a Bacillus-based expression system such as, for example, those described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,319,030.
Various E. coli cell can be used with the present invention. Illustrative E. coli cells include, but are not limited to, BL21 (DES), W3110, DH5a, HMS174, and derivatives thereof. In one embodiment, the E. coli cell is the BL21 (DES) strain. In another embodiment, the E. coli cell is W3110 strain. The genotype of W3110 is E. coli K12 F-, λ-, IN (mD-mE)1, rph-1. It is a Gram negative, rod-shaped, facultative anaerobe, and its genealogy is well described (Bachmann, B J 1972. Pedigrees of some mutant strains of Escherichia coli K-12. Bacteriol. Rev. 36(4):525-57). There have been no modifications of this strain prior to transformation with the B3214 plasmid.

In various aspects, the beta-lactamases polypeptide has the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 10 (i.e., P2A) or is derived by one or more mutations of SEQ ID NO: 10:
In some embodiments, the beta-lactamase polypeptide produced by methods of the invention comprises an amino acid sequence having at least about 60% (e.g. about 60%, or about 61%, or about 62%, or about 63%, or about 64%, or about 65%, or about 66%, or about 67%, or about 68%, or about 69%, or about 70%, or about 71%, or about 72%, or about 73%, or about 74%, or about 75%, or about 76%, or about 77%, or about 78%, or about 79%, or about 80%, or about 81%, or about 82%, or about 83%, or about 84%, or about 85%, or about 86%, or about 87%, or about 88%, or about 89%, or about 90%, or about 91%, or about 92%, or about 93%, or about 94%, or about 95%, or about 96%, or about 97%, or about 98%, or about 99%) sequence identity with SEQ ID NO: 10.
In some embodiments, the beta-lactamase and/or pharmaceutical composition comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 90%, or 95%, or 97%, or 99%, or 100% sequence identity with SEQ ID NO: 10.
Additional sequences of beta-lactamases including P1A, P2A, P3A, and P4A and derivatives thereof are described for example, in WO 2011/148041 and PCT/US2015/026457, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
The invention provides for polynucleotides encoding a beta-lactamase polypeptide, including, for example, vectors, comprising such polynucleotides. Such polynucleotides may further comprise, in addition to sequences encoding the beta-lactamases of the invention, one or more expression control elements. For example, the polynucleotide, may comprise one or more promoters or transcriptional enhancers, ribosomal binding sites, transcription termination signals, and polyadenylation signals, as expression control elements. In an embodiment, the polynucleotide includes expression control elements that direct expression of the beta-lactamase in the cytoplasm.
The polynucleotide may be inserted within a suitable vector, which is utilized to transform a suitable host cell such as an E. coli cell for expression. The vector may be any self-replicating DNA molecule that can transfer a DNA between host cells, including, for example, a plasmid cloning vector. In some embodiments, the vector can remain episomal or become chromosomally integrated, as long as the insert encoding the therapeutic agent can be transcribed. Vectors can be constructed by standard recombinant DNA technology. Vectors can be, for example, plasmids, phages, cosmids, phagemids, viruses, or any other types known in the art, which are used for replication and expression in prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells (e.g. an adenovirus; a retrovirus; a lentivirus; an scAAV; pGEX vector; pET vector; and pHT vector). Exemplary vectors that may be used include, for example, the pAVE011 vector. Preparations of the pAVE011 vector is described in EP Patent No. 0502637, EP Patent No. 2386642, and U.S. Pat. No. 6,537,779, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. It will be appreciated by one of skill in the art that a wide variety of components known in the art (such as expression control elements) may be included in such vectors, including a wide variety of transcription signals, such as promoters and other sequences that regulate the binding of RNA polymerase onto the promoter. Any promoter known to be effective in E. coli cells in which the vector will be expressed can be used to initiate expression of the therapeutic agent. In one embodiment, the promoter is effective for directing expression of the beta-lactamase polypeptide in the cytoplasm. Suitable promoters may be inducible or constitutive. Examples of suitable promoters include, for example, the pET system (INVITROGEN), lac promoter, tac, trc, T7, T7A3 promoter, PhoA, Phage lambda pR, lambda pL promoter (see, e.g. J Ind Microbiol Biotechnol (2012) 39:383-399; Curr Opin Biotech 2001, 12: 195, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference), Pspac, PgroES, Pgsi, Plux and amyQ promoter and/or amyQ signal peptide from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (by way of non-limiting example Gen Bank ID No. J01542.1, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference). The promoter may be inducible (e.g. via IPTG, metabolites, temperature). In one embodiment, the cytoplasmic expression of the beta-lactamase polypeptide is driven by the IPTG inducible LacI promoter. In one embodiment, cytoplasmic expression of the beta-lactamase polypeptide is induced by adding IPTG to the bacterial culture.
In various embodiments, the transformed E. coli cell is grown for a time under conditions sufficient to produce cytoplasmic expression of the beta-lactamase polypeptide. Any type of media that will support growth and reproduction of E. coli cell in cultures is useful for practicing the method of the invention. After growth of the cultures, the E. coli cell is typically lysed using osmotic shock, sonication or other standard means, and the expressed beta-lactamase polypeptide is isolated from the soluble fraction. Any protein purification method may be employed for this purpose, such as dialysis, gel filtration, ion exchange chromatography, affinity chromatography, electrophoresis, or a combination of steps.
In various embodiments, the beta-lactamases produced by methods of the invention possess functional characteristics that make them desirable for a variety of uses, including therapeutic uses.

Agents Chemother, 1:283-288; the various methods of Viswanatha et al. Methods Mol Med. 2008; 142:239-60).

This invention is further illustrated by the following non-limiting examples.
P1A-protein was produced by Bacillus subtilis RS310 production strain in approximately 10,000 liter fed-batch fermentation. The Bacillus subtilis RS310 strain was asporogenic, tryptophan auxotrophic and secreted P1A-protein into the culture broth. Specifically, cell culturing of the P1A-protein comprised two inoculum (1%) expansion stages in shake flasks (WCB vial→100 mL→2×1200 mL) followed by a seed fermentation stage (220 L, 2.5%). The main fed-batch fermentation was conducted in approximately 10,000 L working volume. The main fermentation was started as batch fermentation with an initial volume of 9,000 L of growth medium. After about 9 hours when most of glucose in the growth medium was consumed, feeding with a feed solution (approx. 1500-2000 L) containing glucose and phosphate was started. In order to keep glucose at adequate levels (0.5-5 mg/mL) during the feeding phase, predefined feeding profile was used, which may be adjusted during the process based on glucose measurements. The P1A protein was constitutively produced and secreted extracellularly into the culture broth.
During fermentation the critical operational parameters were monitored and controlled including glucose concentration, pH (7±0.2), dissolved oxygen level (10-20%), temperature (37±1° C.) and foam level. Stirring rate was controlled starting with gentle mixing and increasing to a maximum of 138-145 rpm. Air flow into the vessel was adjusted to 0.5-1 wm. Progression of fermentation was monitored by P1A content (enzyme activity measurement) and cell density measurements (OD 600 nm). The main fermentation achieved a P1A titer of about 1-1.2 mg/mL (by HPLC) typically after 16-22 hours. The final cell density was typically approximately OD 50 (d.w. 16-17 g/L). After completion of cultivation, the content of fermenter was cooled down to 11±3 00.
After fermentation the cells were removed from P1A-protein containing broth by continuous centrifugation followed by microfiltration. P1A containing filtrate was concentrated by ultrafiltration and P1A concentrate was further diafiltered, conditioned and passed through a disposable anion exchange filter cartridge in flow-through mode after which the filtrate was further diafiltered to remove NaCl. This prepared the solution for the following two stage P1A-protein crystallisation including; crystallisation, crystal harvesting, washing and dissolution. Finally, after the second crystallisation step, P1A-protein crystals were suspended in water and dissolved and final concentration of P1A-protein solution was adjusted. The protein solution was filtered (0.2 um) to reduce bioburden and finally dispensed into sterile plastic containers, frozen and stored at −70° C.
The purpose of this study was to improve β-lactamase expression. To do so, the pAVEway™ advance protein expression system was employed in E. coli. P3A was used throughout this study for testing β-lactamase expression. The gene sequence for directing the intracellular expression of P3A is SEQ ID NO: 6.
The P3A gene was cloned into the pAVEway™ intercellular (cytoplasmic) construct, pAVE011, and the plasmid was verified with PCR and DNA sequencing. The designed P3A expression construct provided a relatively homogeneous N-terminus with the N-terminal methionine removed about 95% of the time.
Following construction of the intercellular expression plasmid, the construct was transformed in the following E. coli strains: CLD977 (W3110 E. coli host) and CLD990 (BL21 E. coli host). After construction of the β-lactamase intracellular expression strains, P3A was expressed and characterized as further described in Examples 2 and 3, respectively.
Additionally, the P3A gene was cloned into the pAVEway™ periplasmic construct, pAVE029+gene 1 or gene 7 (gene 1 and gene 7 are different secretion leaders). Again, the plasmid was verified with PCR and DNA sequencing.
Following construction of the periplasmic expression plasmid, the construct was transformed in the following E. coli strains: CLD981 (gene 1 leader, W3110 E. coli host) and CLD982 (gene 7 leader, BL21 E. coli host). After construction of the periplasmic β-lactamase expression strains, P3A was expressed and characterized as further described in Examples 2 and 3, respectively.
Duplicate fermentations were performed using intracellular expression strains CLD977 and CLD990, and periplasmic strains CLD981 and CLD982. Specifically, the fermentation analysis was carried out in 3 stages: Shake flask (SF) seed stage, Fermenter stage, and SDS-PAGE analysis stage. To carry out the SF seed stage, RCB vials were inoculated into duplicate shake flasks with standard media and incubated at 37° C., 200 rpm for approximately 10 hours. Next, purity and OD600 of the samples was determined (summarized in Table 1). Finally, the E. coli material was transferred from SF to a fermentation vessel.
The fermenter stage was conducted using the standard pAVEway™ intracellular protocol. Specifically, cultures were induced using 0.5 mM IPTG when OD600=50±5. After induction, fermentation continued for an additional 12 hours before shutdown. Purity of the samples was confirmed at both pre-induction and shutdown.
For CLD977, the fermentation control parameter steps were: i) Oxygen supplementation at 7.33 hours; ii) End of batch phase at 9.46 hours when feed started; iii) Induction at 10.27 hours when OD600=50.1; iv) Fermentation continued for a further 12 hours before shutdown.
As shown in
For CLD990, the fermentation control parameter steps were: i) Oxygen supplementation at 10.95 hours; ii) End of batch phase at 12.27 hours when feed started; iii) Induction at 13.14 hours when OD600=50.1; iv) Fermentation continued for a further 12 hours before shutdown.
A MFCS plot of CLD990 fermentation is shown in
A MFCS plot of exit gas analysis of oxygen uptake rate (OUR) and carbon dioxide evolution rate (CER) for CLD977 and CLD990 fermentation is shown in
Biomass profiles for both strains were similar up to 12 hours post induction although the CLD990 strain was delayed due to the extended batch phase (see
Gram staining was also performed for CLD977 and CLD990 at the end of batch phase and after fermentation was complete (see
Following fermentation, selected time course samples from pre-induction to the end of fermentation were analyzed using SDS-PAGE (see
As evidenced by the SDS-PAGE results, protein product levels in both strains were in excess of 10 g/L (see
P3A β-lactamase activity of the previously described fermentation samples (see Example 2) was analyzed using the CENTA method, which is described below. Throughout this method, different standards were used and are referred to as: Reference material (32 mg/mL); Standard curve: Reference standard material diluted ×1000 (standards used were 0.6 mg/l, 0.8 mg/l, 1.0 mg/l, 1.5 mg/l, 2.0 mg/l and 4.0 mg/l made up from the ×1000 stock); Control standard: Reference standard diluted to 1 mg/l and ran as a control; 1 mM CENTA stock solution: 25 mg CENTA lactamase substrate dissolved in 50 ml of 50 mM Sodium dihydrogen phosphate (stored at −20° C.); and CENTA working solution: 3.34 ml of CENTA stock solution dissolved in 25 ml of Sodium dihydrogen phosphate.
The CENTA method employs a chromogenic cephalosporin that is readily hydrolyzed by β-lactamases and allows for kinetic studies and detection of the enzymes in crude extracts and chromatographic fractions (Bebrone, C. et al., (2001) Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 45 (6) 1868-1871). This method is also useful since CENTA can be prepared from the commercially available drug, cephalothin. For this study, β-lactamase sample activity was monitored using a FFDB plate reader in the presence of a CENTA working solution. First, β-lactamase samples were diluted to 1 mg/l (Bradford assays were used to determine the concentration). Then, 50 pL of each sample was loaded onto the plate and incubated for 20 min. at 25° C. Finally, 200 μL of the CENTA working solution was added to each sample and the sample was read as follows: Plate reader settings: Temperature of measurement=25° C.; Shaking=slow; Time of shaking=2 seconds; Time of measurement=60 seconds; Number of readings=Every 3 seconds; and Wavelength=405 nm.
The hydrolysis of CENTA was monitored by continuously recording the absorbance variation at 405 nm (appearance of the expulsed chromophore). Results from this assay are presented in
The CENTA experiments were split into 3 assay plates. Assay plate 1 corresponded to: CLD981 12h, 24h, 48h, osmotic shock buffer 1 (OS1) 24h, and osmotic shock buffer 2 (OS2) 24h post induction, as well as CLD982 12h, 24h, 48h, OS1 24h, and OS2 24h post induction. Assay plate 2 corresponded to: CLD981 OS1 48h and OS2 48h post induction, as well as CLD982 OS1 48h and OS2 48h post induction. Assay plate 3 corresponded to CLD977 and CLD990 for both the second to last and last time point post induction (sonication) as well as the last time point post induction (Bug buster). OS1 contains 20% sucrose. Following preparation of the OS1 fraction, the cell pellet went on to preparation of OS2, which contains MgSO4.
Results for assay plate 1 results are shown in
Assay plate 2 results are shown in
Assay plate 3 results are shown in
Tables 2-4 specifically show CLD981, CLD982, CLD977, and CLD990 end point OD, activity concentration (mg/L), assay dilution, concentration×dilution (g/L), whole cell weight (WCW (g/L)), periplasmic dilution factor, g/L P1A activity WB titre, estimated g/L P1A WB by SDS PAGE, SDS PAGE P, and SDS PAGE soluble (if applicable) compared to control 1 and 2.
As seen above, for the intracellular strains, there was a marginally greater activity in strain CLD990 compared to strain CLD977. For the periplasmic strains, the best secretion fraction for CLD981 (gene 1 leader) was OS2 fraction at 1.3 g/L (by SDS-PAGE), whereas the best secretion fraction for CLD982 (gene 7 leader) was SN fraction at 1.0 g/L (which included the non-processed form). Finally, for intracellular strains, it was observed that applying either Bug buster or sonication produced similar activity and SDS-PAGE results for these preparations.
Overall, intracellular activity and SDS PAGE results were more than 10× greater compared to secretion (periplasmic) fractions. This was a surprising result as typically, expressed proteins are collected from the periplasm. Additionally, the intracellular expression yielded β-lactamase in the soluble fraction as opposed to inclusion bodies.
cGMP manufacturing of P3A (SYN-004) was undertaken. The initial 750-liter cGMP production run used the pAVEway™ platform (FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies UK). Yields were 5.5 kilograms of >95% pure SYN-004 active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) drug substance. The GMP manufacturing process was initiated after a successful evaluation that produced high yielding cell lines that exhibited consistent biological activity of P3A (SYN-004). P3A (SYN-004) expression titers were improved by greater than about 15-fold (14 grams of P3A (SYN-004) per liter of E. coli culture broth), compared to the Bacillus platform previously employed for SYN-004's first-generation predecessor (roughly 1 gram of PIA per liter of Bacillus subtilis culture broth, see Example 1). A single chromatography column purification process reproducibly yielded 40-50% P3A (SYN-004) drug substance recovery at purity levels greater than 95%, another marked manufacturing improvement over the previous purification process.
The following definitions are used in connection with the invention disclosed herein. Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood to one of skill in the art to which this invention belongs.
As used herein, “a,” “an,” or “the” can mean one or more than one.
Further, the term “about” when used in connection with a referenced numeric indication means the referenced numeric indication plus or minus up to 10% of that referenced numeric indication. For example, the language “about 50” covers the range of 45 to 55.
An “effective amount,” when used in connection with medical uses is an amount that is effective for providing a measurable treatment, prevention, or reduction in the rate of pathogenesis of a disease of interest.
As referred to herein, all compositional percentages are by weight of the total composition, unless otherwise specified. As used herein, the word “include,” and its variants, is intended to be non-limiting, such that recitation of items in a list is not to the exclusion of other like items that may also be useful in the compositions and methods of this technology. Similarly, the terms “can” and “may” and their variants are intended to be non-limiting, such that recitation that an embodiment can or may comprise certain elements or features does not exclude other embodiments of the present technology that do not contain those elements or features.
Although the open-ended term “comprising,” as a synonym of terms such as including, containing, or having, is used herein to describe and claim the invention, the present invention, or embodiments thereof, may alternatively be described using alternative terms such as “consisting of” or “consisting essentially of.”
As used herein, the words “preferred” and “preferably” refer to embodiments of the technology that afford certain benefits, under certain circumstances. However, other embodiments may also be preferred, under the same or other circumstances. Furthermore, the recitation of one or more preferred embodiments does not imply that other embodiments are not useful, and is not intended to exclude other embodiments from the scope of the technology.
The amount of compositions described herein needed for achieving a therapeutic effect may be determined empirically in accordance with conventional procedures for the particular purpose. Generally, for administering therapeutic agents (e.g. inventive β-lactamases and/or pharmaceutical compositions (and/or additional agents) for therapeutic purposes, the therapeutic agents are given at a pharmacologically effective dose. A “pharmacologically effective amount,” “pharmacologically effective dose,” “therapeutically effective amount,” or “effective amount” refers to an amount sufficient to produce the desired physiological effect or amount capable of achieving the desired result, particularly for treating the disorder or disease. An effective amount as used herein would include an amount sufficient to, for example, delay the development of a symptom of the disorder or disease, alter the course of a symptom of the disorder or disease (e.g., slow the progression of a symptom of the disease), reduce or eliminate one or more symptoms or manifestations of the disorder or disease, and reverse a symptom of a disorder or disease. For example, administration of therapeutic agents to a patient suffering from a GI tract disorder (e.g. ODD provides a therapeutic benefit not only when the underlying condition is eradicated or ameliorated, but also when the patient reports a decrease in the severity or duration of the symptoms associated with the disease. Therapeutic benefit also includes halting or slowing the progression of the underlying disease or disorder, regardless of whether improvement is realized.
Effective amounts, toxicity, and therapeutic efficacy can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, e.g., for determining the LD50 (the dose lethal to about 50% of the population) and the ED50 (the dose therapeutically effective in about 50% of the population). The dosage can vary depending upon the dosage form employed and the route of administration utilized. The dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index and can be expressed as the ratio LD50/ED50. In some embodiments, compositions and methods that exhibit large therapeutic indices are preferred. A therapeutically effective dose can be estimated initially from in vitro assays, including, for example, cell culture assays. Also, a dose can be formulated in animal models to achieve a circulating plasma concentration range that includes the IC50 as determined in cell culture, or in an appropriate animal model.
